Plant full genomes, Plant DNA geneaology

My daughter and I were talking about plant DNA.  A couple of years ago I bought her a full genome test for $300 just to see what her full genome looked like.

I could not make sense of the plant genome testing industry and services. If you have a couple of minutes can you point us to some useful places? It seems like the wild west (for plant genome sequencing)

We joked about our favorite rose bush. Maybe it is hard to get “juice” from a woody plant. I have helped a lot of people find birth parents using Ancestry DNA, and they just spit in a tube, send it in, and go online to see who is connected.  I know there are some plant genomes on NIH.

( “plant” “genomes” site:nih.gov ) has 345,000 entry points

A critical comparison of technologies for a plant genome sequencing project by Pirita Paajanen and many others at https://academic.oup.com/gigascience/article/8/3/giy163/5281243  they mention Illumina short read, Illumina makes many of the human DNA tests.

Gary Schroth at Illumina wrote Inexpensive Sequencing Is Enabling the Age of Multiomics at https://www.genengnews.com/insights/trends-for-2024/inexpensive-sequencing-is-enabling-the-age-of-multiomics/  He  says “In the next few years, assuming a $200 genome, laboratories will be able to conduct transcriptomic, proteomic, and possibly even single-cell analyses for $1,000 or less.”

On Illumina.com they have “AgriGenomics” at https://www.illumina.com/areas-of-interest/agrigenomics.htmlThe Development of Plant Genome Sequencing Technology and Its Conservation and Application in Endangered Gymnosperms by Kaiyue Hong ,Yasmina Radian, Teja Manda, Haibin Xu,Yuming Luo at https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/12/23/4006
